800 or 1024 sized images are fine for this stage (but high-res versions are good for 2DArtist magazine!)

Rather then illustrating the viscous nature of the carnivorous plant, I have tried to emphasis the seducing nature of the plant that lures its prey to its end.
And when it comes to seducing power the best example to compare with, I thought would be female.

1: Gigsmella, Great storytelling and detailing. Colors are great. Love the little red critter down bellow. Only crit would be the lack of a focus point, the eye wanders endlessly.
2: Locito, cool concept, nicely rendered. I have some bamboo in my garden, hey, where is the dog?
3: Freakdesign, well chosen name, great use of textures and the fact there's water instead of blood.

1. freakdesign -Very sweet stylistic approach and that little pottern plant with the tiny skull is sweet! Really full of neat little things that keep me looking.2. gigsmella- Almost has a fairytale look to it. This is something I could really see in some kind of storybook. You really put alot of work into to this and it's a very fun piece to boot.Tommoy mentioned it, if you popped out more of a focal point or focus point it would rock even more.3. Tommoy- Nice touch with the fork and knives. Very funny little piece and great expressions on those plants.

Tommoy - Love the concept and style of the piece, and how the focus is directed at the poor fly who's going to become dinner.
Trashy - Really like the dark look of this while the piece still retains a nice feel to it. Also like the different textures.
locito - Original idea, the bamboo plant is great! Love the expression.

1. Gigsmella: wonderful world of color and sharp teeth. great concept.
2. Trashy: everything about this works so well, I could see it in Rolling Stone or something.
3. locito. great image... so what are you saying, pandas are dumb?
